DOI: 10.1002/acm2.13519
Abstract: Abstract Purpose The dual‐layer multi‐leaf collimator (MLC) in Halcyon involves further complexities in the dose calculation process, because the leaf‐tip transmission varies according to the leaf trailing pattern. For the volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1833
Abstract: PREMISE Epiphytes are abundant in ecosystems such as tropical montane cloud forests where low-lying clouds are often in contact with vegetation. Climate projections for these regions include more variability in rainfall and an increase in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10123
Abstract: Abstract Plants produce diverse chemical defenses with contrasting effects on different insect herbivores. Deploying herbivore‐specific responses can help plants increase their defensive efficiency. Here, we explore how variation in induced plant responses correlates with herbivore… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6691
Abstract: Abstract Leaf shape is a defining feature of how we recognize and classify plant species. Although there is extensive variation in leaf shape within many species, few studies have disentangled the underlying genetic architecture. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8113
Abstract: Abstract The composition of vegetation on a slope frequently changes substantially owing to the different micro‐environments of various slope aspects. To understand how the slope aspect affects the vegetation changes, we examined the variations in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3825
Abstract: Previous meta-analyses suggested that carnivorous plants - despite access to N, P, and K from prey - have significantly lower leaf concentrations of these nutrients than non-carnivores. Those studies, however, largely compared carnivores in nutrient-poor… read more here.

Perfoliate leaves reduce herbivory in the shield‐bracted monkeyflower ( Mimulus glaucescens )
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology"
DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3876
Abstract: Many plant species have leaves that are completely fused around the stem, forming a disk or cup, a trait called perfoliation (Appendix S1: Figure S1). This morphology has long fascinated naturalists (Beal & St. John,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.10553
Abstract: Diet composition of leaf-eating mangrove crabs is a puzzle among mangrove ecologists. Nutrient-poor leaf litter can in most cases not support animal growth. Food partitioning (mangrove leaves, animal tissue, and microphytobenthos [MPB]) of sesarmid and… read more here.
